The Ninety Eighth, Apr. 7, 2011

once upon a time, far far away
as those stories all like to start
there were very heated debates
as all sides sought resolutions

these days that seems to be past
collective bargaining an expense
no real value in solving conflict
bargain like Washington instead

no compromising on principles
no matter how self serving
claim stubbornness the cause
and blame the other side for it

small separations don't exist
everything becomes a major issue
do not give in to pressures
remain firm no matter how silly

once upon a time, closer to home
common sense will return to us
and partisan obduracy vanish
true compromises to find again
